Many, many years ago, I was on the USS Oriskany.
My squadron's berthing compartment was about 20x30 feet, jammed full of triple-deck racks. There was a youngster who worked corrosion control (he spent his work time grinding paint from and painting aircraft) who neglected to shower for close to two weeks. He stuck so bad that it would wake you up from a sound sleep when he came into the compartment.
One evening some people in the compartment grabbed him, taped his mouth shout, put him in a safety harness, and wrapped him in a blanket. They then tied off the harness to a post on a sponson (a sort of porch on the side of the ship) and tossed him overboard.
No one noticed him there for about two hours. He remembered to shower regularly after that.
